Will the West believe they can force Israel to give in to all demands when Israel already knows that Iran and Islam cannot be appeased? Pressuring Israel into a suicidal situation will only make Israel go it alone in self defense.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the views of those now leading the West, I would say that the West offering up Israel on the altar of Baal for some hope of world peace is increasingly likely. What the leaders of the West do not understand is that Israel will not be the sacrificial lamb for world peace. Israel already gave birth to a sacrificial Lamb two thousand years ago and unless the world accepts His sacrifice there is no hope for world peace. Those that try to destroy His inheritance will certainly end up destroying themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150813212145\/https:\/\/www.commentarymagazine.com\/article\/eradicating-the-%e2%80%9clittle-satan%e2%80%9d\/\">Eradicating the \u201cLittle Satan\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Iranians and their allies throughout the Muslim world are bent on making the abandonment of Israel the price of \u201cpeace in our time.\u201d In a scenario that should ring frighteningly familiar, a charismatic leader of an ideological, totalitarian state is building upon an endemic anti-Semitism inculcated by centuries of religious indoctrination to create an atmosphere in which the massacre of large numbers of Jews and the destruction of their independent polity will be considered a tolerable if not indeed a legitimate eventuality.<\/p>\n<p>That is ominous enough. Even more ominous is the apparent willingness of any number of leaders of the Western world, under the banner of a hoped-for \u201creconciliation\u201d with a major Middle Eastern power and a world religion, to tilt dangerously toward appeasement, ignoring the requirements of rational decision-making and putting at risk the West\u2019s own abiding interests and deepest values.<\/p>\n<p>As for Israel, if it takes today\u2019s challenges seriously and prepares to meet them with the requisite strength and creativity, this may yet turn out to be its finest hour.
